Acting under the provisions of the
Interstate commerce law, the western
traffic association has established q
lumber rate from Chicago to Council
Bluffs and Omaha from fourteen to
twenty cents per hundred higher than
the prevailing rate. The association has
advanced rates at terminal points in
Iowa and Nebraska Co make them con-
form TO local rates at stations in Iowa
east of Council Bluffs and Omaha, in
stead of reducing rates at intermediate
points so as to make them conform pro.
portionally to terminal rates. This is
possible because there are in Iowa and
Nebraska no state laws for determining
maximum freight rates. Missouri has
enacted laws authorizing its railroad
commissioners to establish maximum
freight rates within that state and il
therefore follows that traffic associations
cannot raise freight prices at such termi-
nal points as Kansas City and st. Louis
above this maximum and must reduce
rates at intermediate points TO conform
to the maximum permitted by the state
law of Missouri. It ls OF advantage to
terminal points to possess state protee-
ton as we'll as Interstate protection.

In these trying times the republioan

In these trying times the republican
press naturally turns to democratic
sources for information relative to the
democratic leaders who are springing IN
to place and prominence and for the in
spiration which is to guide their thoughts
and control their judgment dnring the
brief period of democratic supremacy
some of the leaders on the democratic
side are known through common repute,
or disrepute, whichever it may happen to
be, and others possess only local renown. /.
OF the latter class is the new territorial
treasurer, Mr.. Benton. To introduce
him TO the political elements of the ter.
ritory We reproduce the following from
the Fargo Democrat. tie representative
of the democracy Of his home:
Neg alive goodness is no better than moderate
wicked ness.-BSIcK PoNERoY.
If Brick lived in Fargo and tried to
publish a democratic sheet he would
come to the conclusion that moderate
goodness" in an alleged democrat iH
worse than moderate wickedpesS. Such
goody, soody men as John d. Benton,
toned to work with or for democratic as
tendency in Dakota, too "coneer vative to
help sustain democratic press, too non-
partisan to see any difference between
the democratic and republican parties,
is specimen OF "negative goodness
sort that, while it may be emf
neptly respectable, sets like an iceberg
| in the track of democratic progress.
Whether it is for
ressons of self or cowardice or what, we
do not know. but the fact remains that
he remains stolidly Indifferent to the
local party; holds himself elopf and
away from the people. He has nam
tanned that he would not have any more
Ipplitics in his. yet he was candidate
| for Judge, and his name is said to have
besn placed on Thomas' papers for the
postoffice, after his word had passed
that he would make no further indorse-
lmenta Whatever. The Democrat has seen
|so much OF the goody, goody business
this negative goodness" right here IN
| Fargo that ii is tired of it. No man has
a right to find fault with another for GO
ing out Of party politics, but when he
slides around to the rear to get close tt
the commissary department, in order tc
avoid work in front, we believe ii time Il
call the attention of the party to hii
course. His personal life and habits ar.
Exemplary, butas democrat he simp
refuses to do for his party what is with
in his power to do for it, while Al
holds himself in readiness TO accept an,
lucrative Office that presents its self t,
him.

1t appears that the capital of Minne-
sofa is up for the attention=of bidders.
Minneapolis comes forward with heroic
proposition, Offering to the state two
million dollar capitol building and ten
acres of land for site. AS a moral and
economical proposition we are fully con-
vinced that the capital of state should
never be put up at auction as tempta-
tion to the development of corrupt
practices which are not compensated in
the little the state receives. But as st.
Paul was an active factor in the iniquity
which placed the capital Of Dakota out
on the edge Of Siberian desolation, the
victims of that deal will at least suffer
themselves to be amused over the dis
may to which the 81. Paulites are now
subjected by bold break upon their
own governmental stronghold.
